Yohji glared at Omi. How could the chibi even think about opening shop when Aya was missing?

Knight had called to say he’d lost Aya’s trail. Somehow Yohji didn’t think he was telling the truth. It was hard, though, because Knight seemed honourable, so why would he lie?

Yohji could guess the answer to that one. Aya was being difficult and the only way to reign him in was to co-operate with him.

“I’m going to look for him again,” Yohji announced. He still hadn’t changed out of his mission gear, but to hell with it!

“Where are you going to start? He could be anywhere by now,” Ken said it like he thought Yohji had no clue.

“Well we’re not going to find him by opening up the shop! Get your asses in gear or don’t. I really don’t give a shit! But I’m leaving!” He meant it, too.

Omi dropped everything he was working on and went to change his clothes. Ken did the same with an exasperated look in his face.

Yohji pulled out his cellphone while he waited for the boys to get ready. He dialled Pawn. The kid was on the ball, that much he could tell just by talking to him once. Pawn had this hero worship of Aya and wouldn’t be letting Knight out of his sights even with the confirmation that he’d lost Aya’s trail.

“Pawn?”

“Yohji? What can I do for you?” he sounded eager. He was beginning to think the kid always sounded that eager.

“Do you still have Knight’s co-ordinates?” he could hear the sound of Pawn pressing buttons.

“Yeah, why, do you think he knows where Ran is? Knight’s not the type to lie unless he’s protecting someone so I guess that might make sense.”

At least it wasn’t going to be a fight with the kid over whether or not Knight would lie. Yohji had only met the man once and he could tell that he fit his name to a tee. So to get a lie out of him would take drastic measures.

Yohji just prayed that his hunch was right.

Ken and Omi flew down the stairs sounding like a stampede of elephants. It sometimes made him wonder how in the same hell those two managed stealth.

Yohji raced out the door to his car, which he’d had a mechanic friend fix and gas up.

Yohji turned on his vid screen. Pawn’s face was there as the boy started to upload the map again.

As much as I admire Knight, I really hope you’re right. I mean Ran is amazing, but even he could get hurt against an entire team of assassins. He’ll live and he’ll kick the crap out of them, but he still might get a few injuries. Here’s the GPS on Knight’s cell phone. As long as he has it on him we can trace him.

“Too bad Ran switched his phone off or we could just follow his GPS. Bastard!” Yohji griped as he started the car up and pulled out onto the street. Normally he’d love the feel of the wind in his hair, find it refreshing even. But right now his heart still felt frantic. He felt like he was going to lose Aya.

There’s news that a dead body was found in a shopping mall. Apparently it was a boy that matched Ran’s description of the kid that was keeping tabs on him. Get this, he had his throat slashed and the cut looks way too wide to be from a knife. He was found in the fitting rooms of a men’s clothing store. Sounds like Ran got him. Maybe he won’t be so bad off. We might just be a distraction to him.

“Yeah, but that was just a kid. He’s probably like Omi, better suited for the computer work.”

“Hey! I can hold my own!” Omi shouted, reaching up from the back seat and smacking Yohji in the back of the head.

“I know you can, Chibi. That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying was that this kid wasn’t in mission mode. He was in research and spy mode. He wasn’t even thinking he would be killed in public. If you were in the same position you wouldn’t be expecting to be killed either.” Yohji wanted to smack him back, but he had to focus on the task at hand.

“Dick,” Omi growled.

“One more comment like that and you’re getting the hell out of my damned car!” Yohji scolded. Honestly, it was like dealing with children! He had to chuckle at that. Omi and Ken were children.

All he could think about was how impulsive Aya was at times. Aya was powerful, a warrior, but he was also a very passionate person. And at times he could be reckless. That recklessness was a vulnerability that Aya couldn’t afford right now.

Yohji nearly jumped out of his skin when his cell rang. He’d been so intent on Aya’s location that he’d faded out for a second.

You’re in the clear right now. Turn around. Stop chasing after your bitch and save your own lives. At least save the lives of the boys. Its not right that they should die because you care about a monster. It was the enemy. The bastard was as confident as Schuldig. It pissed Yohji off.

“We’re all monsters. Who can care about a monster more than other monsters. He belongs to us. You can’t have him!” Yohji warned, hanging up on the bastard.
